Casting a bomb into campus circles
of the university and providing a more choice morsel for gossip than even the pending elections, the news leaked out yesterday that Dick Stith, man about town, popular Trojan Knight and Phi Alpha, was contemplating suit for slander and threatened assault and battery against the Trojan Glee Club. According to well-grounded rumors, the necessary papers have been filed and legal process is under way.
It appears that the alleged offense grew out of a chance meeting between the plaintiff and defendants in the metropolis of Fresno during the recent spring recess. As far as the facts of the case can be ascertained, the Glee Club stopped in a certain hotel in the afore-mentioned city, wThile on their annual spring tour, and there unexpectedly encountered Mr. Richard Stith The Glee Club, naturally overjoyed at finding fellow Trojans so far from home, desired to greet them warmly, but their advances were met only with cold shoulders and furtive glances.
Angered by the thwarting of their comradely intentions, the men of the Glee Club pursued Mr. Stith, accosted him and expressed themselves to him in no uncertain manner. While it is maintained by the defendants that no actual psysical injury was inflicted upon Mr. Stith, it is understood that the plaintiff is bringing suit for mental strain and one other grounds. The date for the case is not yet set.

ADNA LEONARD IS EXPECTED TO WIN POLITICAL RACE
Running the race of his life, Adna Leonard, Jr., the sole candidate for School of Religion representative on the executive committee, and a man famous for his work as business manager of the recent editions of the Wampus, is expected to win his first major victory in the realm of politics.
Mr. Leonard feels himself to be the logical man for the position, due to many activities in the religious organ izations of the campus. In an interview with Mr. Adna Leonard. Jr., he said: “I feel that my three years of work in the School of Religion will help me materially in the uplifting influence w’hich I intend to exert upon the executive committee. Moreover, my work as business manager of the Wampus, and my slumming activities during the past three summers qualify me for my position. I only ask that all voters look at my past record (with a few exceptions) and judge for themselves.
"Included among my many accomplishments is my successful offer to have a pine tree added to the cover to the last Wampus number in place of tbe elm tree which-some all-too-observant personage had planned to plant behind the well known road ster.”
Only Car Owners And Boozers Apply For Squires
Applications for the Trojan Squires, sophomore society which handles all freshman traditions, will be distributed soon, according to Burke Long, president of the Trojan Knights. However, as the Trojan Knights are to elect the men, only those students who belong to S. A. E., Phi D. K., Sig Chis, or Zekes, or possess any up-to-date eight cylinder car need apply. All good boozers are automatically drafted into the organization.
SEGRETTI CALLED PERFECT LOVER BY FAIR MAIDEN
BY RED HAYNES
Henry Segretti, the giant (intellectual) of the Southern California campus, has received the honored distinction of tieing called the “perfect lover.” The story, which has been the dark secret of “Sig’s” life for the past few months, has at last leaked out.
The reporter who was sent to investigate this most intimate part of our popular baseball manager’s life, concealed himself in a small closet in a room in a certain house on 3524) South Flower. About 12 o’clock at night he heard steadily approaching footsteps, and then the following conversation took place:
“Siggy, you lova me jus’ a lettle bit. no?” asked a sweet Italian voiee.
“Love you a little bit,” a gruff, deep voice replied, “why, hell, woman, my love for you is as great as the Grand Canyon.”
“Me no know what de Gran’ Canon is, sweet tamale, but if you kees me like you did las’ night, I weel be plenny satisfy,” the sweet young thing bravely answered.
By this time the reporter wras peeping through the keyhole. One of the fairest sights he has ever seen greeted his right eye. Right in the center of the room was stationed one of Sicily’s loveliest maidens. About four feet high in her dainty bare- feet, she had hair of the jettest black imaginable. Her black eyes shone with a piercing love. Her skin was of that famous Mediterranean complexion that American college girls use Woodbury’s for.
Squarely on those rosebuds that are commonly known as lips, Segretti was implanting one of his famous kisses, the kind that has gained for him the respect of all the Thetas and Pi Phis on the campus.

Iota Sigma Theta, national honery cosmetic sorority of the campus, is again in the limelight looking for a new house. It has been reported that this is the fifth time this year that the campus sheikeses have been thrown out into the cold, non-payment of rent being the main and only reason.
"Business has been exceedingly poor lately,” cried their prexy. "The Theta Omicrons are taking all our pledges and we can’t make both ends meet. Our negt bet is to get over on J8th "

The last Architecture dance was voted a great success and everyone had a good time. The success was due largely to Mr. Noble Mcllvaine, Esq., who was conspicuous by his absence.
Not to be outdone by their friends the Phi Alphas, word has just been received that Zeta Kappa Epsilon (known on the campus as Beak) has been granted a chapter of Upsilon Tau Beta.
J. Burke Long and J. Barton Hutchins, firm believers in the Phi Alpha and Phi Tau regime, have been, according to Red Lester, the greatest workers in gaining for the Southerh California campus a local chapter of this great aud expansive national.
Upsilon Tau Beta has long been the ambition and by-word on the campus. Rumors of the organization have been current among the universities’ fraternal groups. The local chapter o£ Delta Chi, it is stated, at one time seriously considered disbanding from their mother chapter at Sawtelle and petitioning this massive national.
Although a definite date for the in stallation of the Upsilon chapter of the Upsilon Tau Beta has not been set by the national secretary, negotiations have been made by (our own) Bill Stewcan for a fast ride to na-tionalship.
This is the third local organization to get national this semester; Phi Alpha first with Kap and Gown; Tau Upsilon second, getting Beta Kappa Epsilon, and Zeta Kappa Epsilon obtaining Upsilon Tau Beta.
HOT LETTER FROM I). S. C. STUDE IS FOUND ON CAMPUS
All is not fire that smoulders, or a piece of correspondence found upon our taintless campus might easily have set fire to our beautiful Engineering Building or burned down another fraternity house. Girls, there yet lives a man whose heart burns with the passion oi love, as his letter, written to some love-lorn maiden plainly shows.
The tollowing letter was actually found on the S. C. campus. It was signed ‘Chuck,” and upon investigation, the author was found to be Charles Worley, a Delta Sigma Phi. “My own darling Special Bunny:
“Precious bunny, I just missed you
so d-d much last night. You
weren’t out of my sight before I was wanting you. 1 didn’t want you to go Jiome anyway. Gee, dearest, but you are just perfect, you are wonderful, just divine. I love you, dearest so completely and shall continue to do so forever.
How perfect and divine they are; so
“Perfect eyes? Oh, hell yes! soft, soothing and beautiful and 1 just love them to pieces. Cheerest darling bunny, you are just perfect.
(Woodbury’s) The skin you love to touch. I love you dearest as a miser loves his gold. I just want you with me all the time. Won’t share you with anyone or anything. Just want you as a miser wants his gold. Oh Cheerest, it isn’t human the way worship you.
“I can hardly wait to marry you. Gee the thrill. I am really anxious for the time for us to ask the fond parents. Not much of a kick. Be worth a lifetime to see the expression on their face. Can just hear myself talking to your Dad. Explaining how I want you to marry me when I am earning enough to take care of you. Just wonder exactly what they will say. Will just about die, but will die happy. Just as impatient as a little baby. Well, times passes much faster than we realize.
“Mrs. C. W. Worley. Oh, Gee that will be the only real thing. Oh Cheerest, I am not very hot.
“Well some day SOON it will be. Oh precious bunny I love you more and more each day and shall continue to do so forever. By the time we are 50 or 60 we will just love each other to death.
“Loads of love and a ton of hugs and kisses. Always and forever your bug,
. “CHUCK.”
It has been rumored lately that the Associated Students really have a constitution. If such an animal actually exists it is jealously guarded by Dam Coneron, its keeper.
It is rumored that Phi Alpha will announce having pledged Sam Gates as soon as the results of today's conflict are in—IF the results are favorable. Otherwise, sighs Sam Gates, manager and erstwhile trainer of Phi Alphas precocious darling, the campus will have missed a mighty good social Greek man if I am allowed to graduate without a single bid. (It’s a hard life for a preacher’s kid.)
All that was necessary to make the nominations the most successful ever was a base drum and three cornet players. When President Cameron took the chair (?), the Student Body rose as one and shouted its approval as to the manner in which the Student Body had been run—this year. According to Kathleen Campbell, the applause was deafening.
Next the separate college role was called. Dentistry, Religion and Phar macy answered with an uproar which lasted five minutes. Religion then started a gigantic parade around the auditorium, one man carrying the drum and the other one carrying a banner announcing the candidacy of Chase Burns, prominent Delta Chi, for secretary of the Student Body. Mr. Burns’ friends joined the parade and created a great demonstration.
Student Body President nominations were called for when the demonstration had finally settled down. Arthur Syversbum, a member of Kappa Alpha (Southwestern), was nominated by Jeff Cravath, whom many did not recognize in civilian clothes, and another torch-light procession was held around the hall, Burdette Henney (our own little yell king) acting as the torch. An astounding fact of the convention is that two factions were finally united, Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi.
When the torch had burned out. the demonstration subsided and Willard Brown was nominated. Mr. Brown, it is understood, has recently passed the portal of single blessedness, and will have moral support in his campaign from the new Mrs. Brown.
Barton Hutchins, a supposedly dark horse in this campaign, decided that he was not dark enough, and therefore nominated another man, Leland Tallman, who as Caesar had done, declined graciously. The nominations were then closed in such a hurry that it was thought that the president had sprained his jaw; however, a doctor was not necessary.
Later in the day nominations were declared open again with the aid of several hundred strong voices and the electrician. At this time it would be in order to award the prize for quick thinking to Ed Murray, Bart Hutchins and Eddie Blaine, managers deluxe. The uneasiness of Lee Contt and Boots Oudermeulen, managers a-la-carte and candidates extraordinary, was also very apparent.
After the nominations of Tallman the second time, this candidate accepted the olive branch, standing on no platform. (Tallman was ln the audience.)
Freeman Hall, candidate for Trojan editor, is to Salinas, what Willard Brown is to Moorpark.
Syversbum Denies Engagement To Telephone Girl
“I am a married man, but don't tell anyone before the election at it would probably kill ray heavy co-ed vote." This ta the statement of Art Syversbum, candidate for the office of student body dog catcher.
Syversbum, who is one of the strong members In Alpha Phi AL pha, has been an outstanding man with the women on the Southern California campus.
